Subject: [PATCH] x86/apic: Initialize TPR to block interrupts 16-31
Date:   Sun, 14 Jul 2019 08:23:14 -0700
Message-Id: <dc04a9f8b234d7b0956a8d2560b8945bcd9c4bf7.1563117760.git.luto@kernel.org>

The APIC, per spec, is fundamentally confused and thinks that
interrupt vectors 16-31 are valid.  This makes no sense -- the CPU
reserves vectors 0-31 for exceptions (faults, traps, etc).
Obviously, no device should actually produce an interrupt with
vector 16-31, but we can improve robustness by setting the APIC TPR
class to 1, which will prevent delivery of an interrupt with a
vector below 32.

Note: this is *not* intended as a security measure against attackers
who control malicious hardware.  Any PCI or similar hardware that
can be controlled by an attacker MUST be behind a functional IOMMU
that remaps interrupts.  The purpose of this patch is to reduce the
chance that a certain class of device malfunctions crashes the
kernel in hard-to-debug ways.
